AI and Societal Robustness Conference
December 12th, 2025
Jesus College, Cambridge
Mission
As AI systems become increasingly integrated into critical infrastructure and key industries, questions of control, oversight, and institutional safeguarding become paramount. While there is widespread enthusiasm for AI automation and deployment, there remains a significant gap between cutting-edge AI security research and the practical knowledge needed by institutional decision-makers.
Focus Areas
⛓️💥 AI security
📈 Societal and economic impacts of AI
🛡️ Use-cases of AI that improve societal resilience
🤖 AI agency
⚙️ Interactive learning (workshops)
This one-day conference aims to bring together AI safety researchers and key stakeholders from industry, government, and cybersecurity. Through talks, workshops, and 1:1s, we will help institutions navigate AI deployment while maintaining resilience and security.
